<p>Hi Roger! </p>
<p>I considered that option also but... From what I have seen, it is not easy to get some dacron (at least here in Spain). And since it is my first sail, I think I'll start with some Polythene, which is cheap...</p>
<p>Thanks ;-)</p>

<p>Hi Christian,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Since it is a small sail, why not just order some dacron from Duckworks or Sailrite?</p>

<p>You're right Brett! It's probably not the best option for the long term. But for ocasional use in a Melanesia I think I will start with that.... All the best, Christian!</p>

<p>Polythene for your sails...? I would have thought this was a fairly temporary material to perhaps experiment with initially. I suppose with some of the really strong tapes like gorilla tape, you could learn quite a lot but don't think its the way to go long term. all the best Brett</p>

<p>I just know that people have made sails from this stuff. It's very strong and low stretch and not too expensive.</p>
<p>Good luck</p>

<p>Thank you Ian!</p>
<p>From what I am seeing, Tyvek is a polythene cloth 125 g/metre squared.. so I guess I will go for that density</p>
